Know before you buy
The doors are designed to lift upward and slide horizontally into the top of each shelf compartment. This mechanism keeps the doors out of the way while you access your books or display items.
When a door is fully opened and retracted into the case, it occupies approximately 12 inches of depth within that specific shelf compartment.
The Nina Bookcase features fixed shelving to maintain the structural integrity required for the sliding door mechanism. Please ensure your items fit within the standard shelf height before ordering.
All available hardwoods, such as Oak, Cherry, and Quarter Sawn White Oak, are premium, kiln-dried materials suitable for heirloom-quality furniture. While all are durable, woods like Hickory and Hard Maple are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents, whereas Cherry and Brown Maple offer smoother grain patterns that take stains very evenly.
Yes, you can customize the glass to suit your aesthetic preferences, whether you prefer clear glass for maximum visibility or textured options to add a layer of visual interest and privacy.
Standard wood selections are chosen for a cleaner, more uniform appearance with minimal knots. Rustic options intentionally feature natural characteristics like knots, mineral streaks, and color variations to provide a more organic, character-rich look.
